So how do we get these query suggestions? There are 2
ways to do this :

1) The first
one is created automatically based on user searches.

Query suggestions depend on users' searches. Only search
queries that have been previously returned and then clicked through at least
six times will appear in either the search box list. Therefore, a newly
deployed SharePoint Server 2010 system will not show query suggestions in either
location. Moreover, a query suggestion will only appear in the search box list
if the query suggestion contains at least one of the words that are typed.

2) The second
once is created manually.

We can use Windows PowerShell to manually add query suggestions.
The benefit of this method is query suggestions are available immediately to
users of a newly installed search system. We can also supplement the default
Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 behavior by adding query suggestions for key
search terms.

In this manner, you can provide query suggestions that
might not be generated by the system because users are not using the search
terms that would create the query suggestions that you want to appear.

PowerShell to do this:

Here we are adding the following query suggestions
manually (ford, test1, test2)

If we have a list which is growing more than what was
planned, it is always a good idea to split the list for performance improvement
and for ease of use. There are multiple ways of doing this. Below is a simple
way to do this.

For this exercise I have created 2 lists list1 and list2.My goal is to move all items from list2 to list1

1) Browse to Site Actions -> Manage Content and
Structure

2) Alternatively, you can browse to Site Actions ->
Site Settings -> Site Administration -> Content and structure
